"Gold or Wisdom"

Scripture Reading:    
Proverbs 16:16 (HCSBO)  Acquire wisdom—how much better it is than gold!  And acquire understanding—it is preferable to silver.
 
Devotion And Meditation:
Solomon when asked what it is that he desired most, asked for wisdom. Oh the benefits of being wise. Wisdom is something that is internal that will have an external effect. Yes, we sometimes think that money is what we could use to solve all our problems. Scripture states that we should not store up our riches (external things) on this side because nothing will compare to all the riches that we will have in heaven. No earthly amount of gold or silver can out weigh the benefits of having wisdom and understanding.   Our God looks for the internal and the eternal in everything. The internal is our heart and the eternal is our eternal life.  Why should we want anything less?  Lord thank you for providing me with wisdom and understanding to discern what things will affect me eternally. Please continue to remind me that no earthly treasure can compare to what I can expect in my eternal home in heaven with you. Lord help me to keep my priority as YOU!
 
Win or lose, I want to make sure that I make God's name great

Galatians 2:20
